A table for two in a boarded up room Memories come to me like a flood I was young at a glance when we used to dance Between needles and pins for fun I wish I could be something better I wish I could be something better Every word is a knife into me And then it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Last time I saw you, you were slipping away And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone You could be angry You could be sad But no one will love me the way that you did And now you're gone My best talks come alive when I'm home late at night Lingering on ‘till dawn The shadows on my wall, they tell me it's my fault They run and hide from the sun Every word is a knife into me
And then it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Last time I saw you, you were slipping away And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone You could be angry You could be sad And no one will hurt me the way that you did And now you're gone If I could turn back all the winters Maybe I'd be prepared to lose And we would find out what we've been missing Has been right here all along Every word is a knife into me And then it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Last time I saw you, you were slipping away And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone I could be angry I could be sad But no one will love me the way that you did I wish I could be something better
